Lizz Wright

This rising star of the jazz/R&B world has arrived. Wright has established herself as both an accomplished songwriter and an effortlessly magnetic performer, deliveing subtly persuasive vocal performances in understated settings.

“It would not be hyperbolic to describe Lizz Wright as an awesome talent… [Wright] stands in a direct line of descent from Odetta through Tracy Chapman, singers whose source of sustenance is the African-American spiritual tradition.” -Stephen Holden, NY Times
